Blueprint Posted September 13, 2024 Author Posted September 13, 2024 Affinity V2 - Tutorials Vol-036 - Frequency Separation Filter and Food Images A written adaptation of a video tutorial done by Digital Camera magazine in January 2021. The main reason people use the Frequency Separation filter, is to clean up blemishes and problems with skin in portrait photographs. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use it elsewhere, like in food photographs.

Blueprint Posted September 21, 2024 Author Posted September 21, 2024 Written Tutorial for Affinity Designer Skull Island Assets and the Isometric Grid Back in 2019 when V1.7 of Affinity Designer was released. Serif gave away for free, some Assets from the company called Frankentoon. These were to help display the use of the new feature, the Isometric Grid. The Assets and how to use them came with links to video tutorials, but these videos no longer work. The Assets can still be downloaded though, and this written tutorial is my best guess at what you may have got in the original video tutorials. It should also work in Affinity Photo as it has the same features.

Blueprint Posted October 28, 2024 Author Posted October 28, 2024 Written Tutorial for Affinity Publisher, but in many cases can be done in Designer and Photo also. Using or Copying Adobe Photoshop or InDesign, Mock-Ups or Designs My original plan was to do two tutorials (issues 39 and 40) but I combined them to make a single issue. The first part showing how to use an Adobe Mock-Up file of a flyer and adapt it to look the way I want. The second part was to find a flyer design from an Adobe file website and copy it from scratch as best as I could. Either route opens up the number of designs available to you but will also teach beginners how to use the Affinity Apps.

Missyb57 Posted December 4, 2024 Posted December 4, 2024 Mr. Carl please let me say as a senior who will be 67 in a couple days, YOU have made this venture into Affinity so much better for me. I have always used a different program but it didnt meet my needs & took so much time to accomplish minor things. I have been using the Affinity Designer 2 for a few months but not to the extent that I needed it, but now I am soooo excited to try some of the things I was unsure of. Bless you for all the time & heart you put into making all of these for everyone. Thank you most sincerely. Blueprint and AnnH 2 Quote

Blueprint Posted January 3 Author Posted January 3 Thanks Alfred. I have covered Overlays over the years, in various tutorials, either as the main subject or just as one step within another subject. Not many people, new to photo editing will check out older tutorials, partly because they were written for v1 Affinity. But also, because there are quite a few to trawl through. So, it pays to do new version tutorials on old themes. Happy New Year Carl Alfred 1 Quote
